Internet Transfer Control

I have an on going project that will retrieve data from a certain web page. Due to the nature of the data that I needed I need to loop the "Inet1.OpenURL" statement a thousand times. At first my program is running perfectly. But suddenly I noticed that the response is getting slower for the "Inet1.OpenURL" statement to perform that sometimes a System Request Timeout error will be encountered. I solved the latter problem by increasing the number of seconds before a time out will be issued. But I am wondering whether I accidentally done something that makes my program slower by 50%. Is there someone out there who can give me an idea on how to make the Inet1.OpenURL statement perform faster? Thanks in advance.

The winsock.dll had some problems that "have been fixed" with service pack 4 for Visual Studio. Have you installed this service pack?

You can get it at....

Actually I haven't tried installing the service pack yet. But when I checked the download site it seems that you're right. Anyway, I'll try to download it today. Thanks mate.
